Abstract
The effects of benzoquinone treatment on the frictional properties of wool fibres against a variety of surfaces are reported. The principal variations observed are explained in terms of ‘ploughing’ effects by scale tips and support the theory that the shrinkproofing properties of benzoquinone are not attributable to changes in frictional properties. The loose-wool-felting behaviour of short fibres emphasizes the importance of fibre-bending in felting and suggests that modification of this latter property may be the manner by which benzoquinone produces shrinkproofing effects.
